In Diemen, many people feel lonely. Mental health issues make it especially difficult for them to get out and about or connect with others. Sometimes, their trust in others wavers for a while.
And that’s where you come in.
With just a few hours a week, you can really brighten someone’s day. By doing something fun together—having coffee, going for a walk, cooking, or just chatting—you can break through the loneliness and bring some joy and light back into someone’s life.
What will you be doing?
We’ll match you with someone who could use some company. Together, you’ll decide what works best for both of you. For example:
☕ Having coffee or going for a walk
🎨 Visiting a museum or cooking together
📬 Opening mail or building a new network
🤸 Working out or just chatting for a bit
What do you get from us?
Personal guidance and contact with other volunteers
Free training courses through the Volunteer Academy
Reimbursement for expenses
A dedicated contact person at De Regenboog Groep
And above all: a meaningful connection that enriches your life as well
Where and when?
You’ll meet once a week or once every two weeks for a minimum of 6 months. You and your buddy will decide together where to meet and what to do.
